Work and Length Of Life.


Before the days Of science and statistics
II was very well known that the char
acter Of a mans work and the conditions
under which he has to labor make a real
difference in the length of life to which he
may fairly look forward. But in spite OF
the increased attention paid to subjects OF
this kind during the last few years, very
few people really recognize how powerful
for good and evil these influences are,
and they will be astounded at the figures
contained in the paper read by Mr.. Hum
phrey before the Statistical society. The
results Of his Investigations went to show
that in spite Of its mental and moral anx-
ieties the life of a clergyman taking the
term in its broadcast sense) is he health
lest. Taking 100 to represent the aver.
age death rate between the ages of 20 and
go the rate among the clergy Is only q
little more than half, or IS.
Passing to the other extreme we find
that the mortality is heaviest among
servants employed in inns and hotels, the
proportional rate upon them standing at
geo. Four of them die for one in the
class above, and though late hours, hurry
and excitement, and the temptations to
excess which beset them might well have
led us to expect a very decided difference
in their liability to fatal disease, SO enor-
nous a disparity could hardly have been
anticipated. Farmers, gardeners and
agricultural laborers come next in health
iness to the clergy, and after them follows
a wide gap, the death rate among them
standing at 20, as compared with lsS
among the miners of Cornwall, while
London laborers suffer more severely
still. We are lessening the unhealthi.
ness Of the country year by year,
but our success is clearly unequal. With
some callings and occupations it is hope
less to look for any great improvement,
but in most something ought to be done
to diminish the liability to disease, and il
is not satisfactory that for every seven
teen people who die at Brighton twenty
nine should die at Preston. We must Try
to make the rate more even throughout
the land.-Sunday Magazine.
